Our story…

Take a peek through the window…

Our love and passion for Wales and the Welsh language is the driving force…

Ffenest Siop is the ultimate destination where Welsh speakers, those learning to speak Welsh and those who want to support Wales, can discover and support Welsh language businesses, services and find employment opportunities.

We don’t just open windows, we open doors. Our vision is to create a Wales where all businesses and service providers offer their services in Welsh, where the people of Wales can thrive in Welsh language jobs in their local area, and where everyone supports local first.

Our mission is simple – we want to nurture a space that boosts the Welsh language, the Welsh economy and Welsh communities.

Creating vibrant communities where Welsh speakers can prosper in Welsh employment in their local areas, is at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is rooted in the belief that every Welsh business and Welsh service provider deserves a stage – a shop window to celebrate their Welsh language provision, and helping them to be discovered, supported and to grow.

Shwmae! I’m Heulwen….

Founded by Heulwen Davies, the visionary Welsh lady and founder of Llais Cymru, Ffenest Siop is the natural evolution of Llais Cymru’s bilingual marketing and PR services, which align with Heulwen’s passion to make a difference to the land, to the language and the Welsh culture that’s deeply rooted in her DNA.

As a Welsh speaker Heulwen has always felt a strong emotional connection with Welsh language businesses and service providers. She’s not alone, Welsh speakers everywhere want to support those who use the Welsh language.

Heulwen’s dream is to bridge the gap between Welsh language providers and their customers, creating a space where Welsh speakers and Welsh learners in Wales and the world can easily discover and support more Welsh service providers. Why? To keep the language alive, to boost the local economy and to create a vibrant and successful land where her daughter and future generations can live their lives in Wales in Welsh – a successful country that everyone will look up to and love as much as she does.

Heulwen brings you Ffenest Siop. By supporting its members, you can play your part in making her dream a reality…over to you!

Hiya! I’m Heledd….

Hey! I’m Heledd, the deputy manager of Ffenest Siop, and I’m so excited to be here!
 
As someone who has been a familiar face on S4C and a familiar voice on BBC Radio Cymru, the Welsh language has been an integral part of my life, and I am so grateful to Wales and the Welsh language!
 
I’m originally from Carmarthen but I moved to the North Wales about 6 years ago and I’ve fallen in love with Anglesey!
 
Working with Welsh language companies, businesses and services is a privilege and I LOVE supporting them in any case, so taking this job with Ffenest Siop is something that just maked sense!
 
Looking forward to chatting with you!
